Pestilence That Walks in Darknsss--A
Destruction That Wastes at MONDAY. j.,
We have published in our columns from
time to time different advertisements in
regard to Bright's Disease and its cures.
What is this tCgrible diseased
We have taken the trouble to make an
inves tigatiou from the best sources and
we give the results to our readers.
What astonishes US Is the general tndlf-
ference given to kidney disorders. The
| kidneys do not sound the alarm of their
diseased condition, owing to the fact that
| they have very few nerves, hence few sus-
| pect that there is any disease in them
Irritation, Inflammation, liberation set in,
and then the little tubes, of which the kid
neys are full, are destroyed and thrown
off, and from this fact are called tube casts.
AS soon as this begins to take place it Is
only question of how fast decomposition
goes on before the disease results fatally.
II the proper remedies are taken before
final decomposition or waste of these tubes
commences or becomes too lar advanced,
that is the only and last chance for relief.
1t is at this point or before that Warmers
safe cure proves so beneficial, and may
cure or stop the wasting away of the kid
neys if it has not advanced too far.
The most remarkable thing of all our in
vestigation is the fact that the patient with
Bright's disease has no exclusive symp-
toms, but has the symptoms Of every COM
mon disease.
First he may possibly feel dull pain in
his back, generally upon one siIe, which
does not de bar him from his usual business
routine. After a time he may begin to feel
neuralgia pains, or have a slight attack of
what he may call rheumat SIN, or headache,
with high or dark colored urine, with an
unpleasant sensation in its passage, and
after standing showing an unnatural con-
ditlon. Later on, come tired feelings, loss
of ambition or vlgor, or loss of or falling
eyesight, which is very common, with a
Il tres Sod condition of the stomach Anu
one of these symptoms is liable to occur.
This no doubt accounts for the propri-
etors of Warmers safe cure curing SO many
diseases. By regulating and building up the
kidneys, symptoms of general ill-health
disappear. They Justly accuse the medical
profession of treating the effects and not
the cause. Finally if this disorder is neg.
lected the patient either dies OF apOpleXy,
pneumonia, heart disease, blood poison,
consumption, or any other disease that the
system is most subject to.
1t appears that General Logan realized
his condition, and was well aware that
his disease was of the kidneys, and eX-
pressed himself in indignant terms at the
folly of the doctors in treating him for
rheumatism when it was the kidneys that
caused his attacks"
We have no doubt that very many peo-
pie in this country have the some trouble
as the General, but little Importance is at
tached to this malady by the medical pro-
fession because of their inability to cope
with it, either in it's first appearance or ad-
yanced condition.
There appears to be some one cause for
nearly every other ailment of the human
system, but up to the present time no one
has been able to fully account for this ter
rlble malady. We understand that the
people Of Germany have become aware of
its fearful fatality, and have offered 40o,-
900 marks (S100,0O0) to any one that can
satisfactorily explain the cause.
